Clematis, Wisteria or possibly an evergreen such as a Variegated Ivy.

It is important to monitor the wound every year to see if the wound is sealing over at the sides.
How easy is it to monitor a wound covered in vines?

Vines up trees is a no-no.

I'll start a thread in General Tree Chat about this.
